Leon, sorry to be a lamer here but I didn't understand the patch or even that there was an actual patch, after reading the long confusing exchange on that bug report. Did you come away with a semi-easily done patch? If so can you explain a bit about how its applied or maybe direct me to the part that discusses an actual patch? ps - have you see something detrimental happening if you just go ahead and run like it is?
